iPhone 5 production: Foxconn workers

Producing one of the most sought after pieces of technology in the world can be a daunting task in itself, but for workers at Foxconn’s Zhengzhou factory it has escalated to a new level. In an official statement, China Labor Watch confirmed that workers at the Zhengzhou factory, especially those deployed in the Onsite Quality Control (OQC) line went on strike after being unable to cope with the excess pressure on them. The factory management and Apple, despite design defects, allegedly raised strict quality demands on workers, including those on indentations standards of 0.02mm, and demands pertaining to scratches on frames and back covers.
